Peters struck out one and walked two while improving to 3-2 on the season for the Knights (7-5).

The game's only two runs came in the top of the first, both scoring after two were out. John Mark Reagan reached on an error to open the game, stole second and was still there with two outs when Peters clubbed a double to right-center field to make it 1-0. After Nik Vargas walked, Victor Perez connected on a first-pitch single to left field to chase home Peters.

Cloverdale's biggest threat came in the bottom of the third when the Eagles had runners at first and second with one out. The next batter bounced a comebacker to Peters, who started a 1-5-3 (pitcher-to-third-to-first) inning-ending double play. The Knights turned a 6-4-3 (shortstop-to-second-to-first) double play to end the game.

Perez had two of the Knights' five hits while also turning in a strong effort in the field at third base, according to Poloni.

"Perez really stepped it up at third," Poloni said.

Clear Lake 11, Willits 1

At Lakeport, Clear Lake's Ryan Hodges needed only 66 pitches to beat the Willits Wolverines in a North Central League I game called after six innings because of the 10-run rule.

Hodges scattered three hits, struck out four and walked only one as Clear Lake improved to 2-0 in the league standings and 7-5 overall.

Mitch Seely anchored a 10-hit Clear Lake offense by going 3-for-4 with a double, triple and two RBIs. His two-out triple in the bottom of the sixth led to a two-run rally that ended the game.

"He had himself a day and he needed it," Clear Lake assistant coach Derek Brodnansky said. "He was certainly overdue."

David Mansell (1-for-3) and Brandon Fenner (1-for-2) also drove in two runs apiece.

Clear Lake scored three times in the bottom of the fourth to open up a 5-1 lead. The Cardinals then broke the game open with a four-run fifth.

After Seely tripled with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, the Cardinals drew four straight walks to finish off the Wolverines (0-3).

St. Helena 8, Lower Lake 0

At Lower Lake, the Lower Lake Trojans kept it close through five innings before the St. Helena Saints tallied five times in the top of the sixth.

Although the Trojans (0-3, 4-8) were limited to five hits, they had their chances early on to make a game of it. They stranded runners at first and third in the bottom of the third inning and had the bases loaded with one out in the fourth but couldn't capitalize.

Losing pitcher Tony Fonseca worked 5 1/3 innings, striking out six and walking two. He also had one of the Trojans' five hits. V.J. Lopez, Jon Duncan, Jerrod Thompson and Jamez Conatser had the others.
